Greece Hotels: In The Footsteps of the Ancient Greeks

Athens is considered to be the home of many of the top classical sites and also a wide range of excellent Greece hotels and restaurants. Travellers visiting Athens and looking for something novel to do after visiting the ancient sites can go for a meal in Archaion Gefsis (Ancient flavours) to see how the ancients ate. Delicacies on offer include wild boar, and the waiting staff walk around the restaurant in togas giving it more of a theme park feel at times.

Despite the decorative novelty that includes columns and ambient torches, diners stand to have a truly tasty and memorable experience. Cyprus hotels are good for those who would prefer the feel of an island holiday while still being able to see some ancient historical sites. According to Greek legend the island was the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite and thus has a number of sites relating to the myth. The ancient city of Palea Paphos is an important archaeological site that contains both Roman and Hellenic ruins ranging from houses to the hilltop temple built in honour of Aphrodite. While children play in the waterparks adults can try to recapture their youth by taking a dip into the baths of Aphrodite to see if they do in fact confer eternal youth on bathers.

Holidaymakers who have a passion for all things historical, and who love to spend their time in Europe will be well occupied when visiting Greece or Turkey hotels. Of the two countries Greece is better known for having a large number of historical sites on the mainland and on the islands. However Turkey should not be overlooked because of its proximity to Greece which has left the country with many, many sites. The top sites range from Ephesus to Halicarnassus, the home of one of the spectacular seven wonders of the ancient world.
